Hope is an important aspect of our lives. You hear it in our daily conversations…”I hope you do well on the exam.” “I hope they win the game.” “I hope you have a good day.” Add a difficult situation into the mix, like a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, makes hope an even stronger feeling …
I sat straight-up right. Twisted my head to squint at the clock on the VCR. There I couldn’t believe my eyes. No, it wasn’t the fact that we still owned a VCR…but that the clock said it was 11:24am. I had been asleep for TWO HOURS! I took a two-hour nap BEFORE 12 …
It’s time to jam with My Odd Sock’s “MS-A-Band.” What’s that? “MS-A-Band” is where we inject, err sorry, I mean infuse, eh no better, I meant add some multiple sclerosis to our favorite bands, singers & musical artists. A fun, mash-up of music and MS. A tingly DX of solos …
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has claimed the #1 spot as the Most Wanted Fugitive Disease. Across the globe, over 2.5 million people are affected by MS. Over 400,000 people in the United States alone. MS has been accused of burglary. Stealing independence, mobility and quality of life. Ruining plans. Robbing …
“How are you?” is an honest enough question. But if you have cancer, MS, the bubonic plague or anything in between…you tend to hear that question more than usual. Ad nauseum, in fact. It’s a toss-up to what I hear more often…”How are you?…or the two guys eating at Sonic. (I get it—they like …
Let’s revisit this old My Odd Sock. I am currently “prepping” for my first colonoscopy, so no time to create a new post. Please enjoy as I gotta go. Literally, I gotta go…. Yep, crowds, chaos & confusion. Nothing brings this Odd Sock to his knees faster than a situation involving any of …
“I told you, remember?” I don’t know about you, but I get that alot. A-LOT. During conversations with loved ones, I’ll ask a question and hear “I told you, remember?” as their response. Sometimes it clicks and I’ll say…”Oh yeah.” Other times it fizzles & peters out like a damp firecracker. …
We’re all mostly serious & junk about our “platonic” relationships with multiple sclerosis. That’s why My Odd Sock has decided to call recess for a little MS Playtime! But we can’t play without toys, right? So I gathered up a few bits to use in poking fun at our dreaded ick. …
Please enjoy this repeat My Odd Sock. (Translation: I’m too lazy to write something new!) When you have multiple sclerosis or any other ickiness that ends with “osis,” it’s easy to get down on yourself. Maybe you can no longer cut the rug (dance) like you once did every Friday night …
March is MS Awareness Month!…I think you’ve gotten the memo on that by now! So I thought it might be nice to send cards to family & friends, letting them know of this special time of year. A trip to the local greeting card store followed—you know the one, when you care …
